This book is packed with a vegan version for so many dishes! The recipes in this book aren't just normal duplications of comfort foods or traditional dishes, but things that have more flavor and flair and come from a variety of cultural and culinary backgrounds. The dishes felt like they would be easy to make and ingredients wouldn't be difficult to find. The overall aesthetic of the book is very nice and the photographs are perfectly done. I was impressed to see that each recipe has a photo; a subtle detail that I love and that is very important. This book isn't just a cookbook, but a manual for cooking vegan food and for adapting to a kitchen with only plant-based ingredients.

"Vegan Everything" is a vegan cookbook covering a wide variety of recipes. I liked that she didn't always mimic meat-lover favorites but sometimes created unfamiliar dishes. She did use gluten-containing grains and occasionally even added gluten (seitan), but there were some gluten-free recipes. She did use soy, but there were plenty of recipes without soy, too. Because of this variety, probably everyone can find some new recipes that they can use.

The author occasionally used store-bought vegan "dairy" or "meat" in a recipe. Some recipes added oil or sugar or used less healthy options like white bread. But other recipes used whole grain bread or used fruit for sweetening. Most of the ingredients can be found in my grocery store. I also felt like I could easily make substitutions to the recipes to suit my tastes.

Each of the 110 recipes had full-color picture of the finished product. The recipes usually served 2-4 people. There were 11 recipes for Breakfast, 8 for Snacks (including chips, salads, crackers), 10 recipes for 20-Minute Meals (for which the prep time was 10-20 minutes, but the cook time added another 20-40 minutes), 11 for One Pan Used Meals, 12 for Family Dinners, 8 for Date-Night Dinners, 9 for Party Hits, 7 for Breads, 25 for Dips, Spreads, etc., and 9 for Sweets. I intend to try out a good number of these recipes.

If you are vegan or vegetarian, or like really good food loaded with flavor from herbs and spices, this book is for you. This is a vegan cookbook that does not profess to be gluten-free. If that is your thing, look elsewhere.

I love cookbooks that provide a photo for every recipe. This book does that and the photos are gorgeous! I enjoy cooking, but I prefer to not spend hours in the kitchen. The recipes are varied and there are some ideas for quick and easy meals. If you are creative, you can simplify some of the other more labor-intensive recipes.

I have a pretty well-stocked pantry and spice cupboard, so I have many of the required ingredients. If you are new to cooking or a vegan diet, you will need to stock your shelves or adapt the recipes since each recipe seems to have at least one uncommon ingredient.. This could be frustrating to beginners or to cooks who like to pick up a recipe and start cooking without having to plan every detail in advance.

Many of the recipes represent foods from around the world. I appreciate the variety and creativity. Recipe chapters include: breakfasts, snacks, quick dishes, one-pot , entertaiing, breads, dips, and sweets. A versatile selection to cover anything you might be hungry for. The recipes uses measurements in cups or gram weights which is helpful.

This book would be a nice addition to any vegetarian/vegan cook's collection.

I really enjoyed this vegan cookbook. It is well organized, includes shopping and equipment guides, as well as helpful labels for each recipe in case your guests have additional restrictions such as gluten free. I highly recommend it.

A cookbook for the committed vegan.
Easy to follow recipes, well-illustrated shopping and equipment guides.
Written by two popular European bloggers with two previous books, the book is well-organized with categories like "One Pot Wonders," "Date Night Dinners," and "Sweet Stuff," that make it easy to find recipes that may fit your cravings.

I loved the little extra touches such as the tip boxes, the ingredient-free signs (gluten free, soy free, sugar free) and the stamps (light, comfort food, or balanced). The layout is nicely achieved, and I really appreciate that all the recipes have pictures.

Some recipes are quite simple and fast to make, which I appreciate. It's nice to have a reference for quick snacks.
Others are a bit more elaborate, but still seem easy and quick to prepare.

I think this is a great cookbook to have around for everyday cooking and also for snacking when you have friends or family over.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC, giving me the opportunity to read and share my personal opinion.

This was a very well written cookbook. I found the layout to flow well and the recipes were easy to understand and follow along to. I look forward to trying some of them out for my family.

I like the layout, and I like that the recipes are straightforward without a lot of unnecessary editorializing. (No one cares about your delightful story about making this with your grandma! Show me the recipe!) Ingredients are relatively simple -- no driving 45 minutes away to the specialty store.

Four stars instead of five because, alas, not a single one of the recipes appealed to me.

(I am bit of a picky eater...)

I cannot pass up a vegan cookbook without taking a look. The recipes here are each accompanied by a color photo and many ate inspired by cuisines from around the world. Ingredients are listed in cups and by weight (aside from small amounts) which I always appreciate. Recipes are mostly not super complicated though there are some ingredients called for that wouldn't likely be in everyone's pantry so some planning ahead would be necessary. That said, I found quite a few I'd like to try.

Thank you to The Experiment and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Really liked this book, and I suspect it would suit someone who had recently become a vegan or was cooking for one. The recipes are very easy to follow with nice tips on how to make the finished dish featured in the pictures, which is not always achievable.

Also liked there were sections for gluten free, sugar fee recipes, etc in an already impressive cookbook.

Recommended.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

This will be a great book for some, but wasn't a great fit for me.

Some of the things I liked about the book:

~ There are color photos for every recipe.

~ Most of the ingredients are real, whole foods. Fake substitutes aren't called for often (other than vegan yogurt).

~ The recipes tend towards simple.

~ The layout is fairly easy to read.

Some of the things I didn't like about the book:

~ Gluten is featured heavily. While some recipes are marked gluten free, those tend to simply call for "gluten free bread crumbs" and such. There are some GF recipes, but it's discouraging to read a book that relies heavily on flour, bulgar, etc. when you cook GF.

~ No nutritional information is provided. This is yet another cookbook that says nutritional information isn't provided and instead offers three little designations of basically light, medium and comfort food. As a health conscious mother, I read labels and want to know how many grams of protein, sugar, fiber, etc. are in a dish and don't want to figure it out myself every time. As a woman also trying to watch my figure, I want actual calorie counts so I have an idea of how to fit a meal into the rest of my day. For folks who track their calories, they can't exactly just plug in "light" for their calorie counts. People who track their salt or sugar for health reasons like diabetes or high blood pressure also need this information, and there's not really an excuse for a large publishing house not to be able to run the recipes through a computer program and at least tack it on in small print at the bottom of a recipe.

~ There was generally at least one ingredient called for that I don't have in my kitchen (and I have an entire drawer, cupboard and spice cabinet just for spices, 4 freezers and an entire basement section of food storage and canning shelves). A huge number of the recipes called for makrut lime leaves, for instance, which I'm told I can buy at my Indian grocery. I'm in rural Minnesota and don't have an Indian grocery. Other less common ingredients are things like ramps (which we do forage every spring, but are not explained to the reader who doesn't know what they are or where to get them).

~ Most of the recipes lean towards Indian, Chinese, Greek, etc. These are cuisines that often don't call for dairy items like cheese or cream and which are pretty easy to make meatless, which makes them good choices for vegan dishes but I would have liked recipes for folks who miss cheese, cream, bacon, etc.

~ The saturation was turned up on the photographs so they look super bright and colorful, but reading the recipes I'm not so sure they would taste that great. For instance, when tofu was used it was never marinaded or seasoned, and instructions only called for pressing it in one recipe. Plain unpressed tofu tossed in corn starch and fried is just going to taste kind of sad in your recipe IMO. The Pizza Marrakesh is spread with a homemade white bean spread and then topped with red onions, green peppers and black olives. I just don't know if that would satisfy my pizza craving.

I did like the spreads and dips at the end, but between being gluten free, having kids who lean more towards more traditional American country food (albeit home grown and from scratch) and having to heavily substitute if I wanted to make any of the recipes, I ended up finding that I wasn't really drawn to this cookbook. Others will probably adore it, though, and it will probably be a great fit for many folks.

My rating system:
1 = hated it
2 = it was okay
3 = liked it
4 = really liked it
5 = love it, plan to purchase, and/or would buy it again if it was lost

I read a temporary digital ARC of the book for the purpose of review.

I am so happy about this book!

Something that’s really important to me when using cookbooks is that the ingredients are kept simple and this book really managed that. There are no “weird” vegan ingredients that non vegans don’t know (or maybe just don’t like... I think us vegans sometimes get a bit too inventive with the stuff we’re using in our recipes...) and the recipes don’t need too many ingredients each.

All the recipes come with pictures, so people are actually able to imagine how the food looks like after cooking. The food always looks really appetizing and you get kinda hungry looking at it. Mmh, food...

The recipes are labeled, e.g. “soy free”, “gluten free”, “sugar free” and “light”, “balanced”, and “comfort food”, so people with allergies or people who are more health inclined than I am will probably really appreciate that.

Another thing I loved was that there were metric measurements included. Really appealing to us Europeans.

There’s also doughs and baked goods! I really enjoy baking, so I’ll definitely try these out soon-ish.

“Vegan Everything” is a great cookbook for vegans and people who are interested in eating more plant based foods and I highly recommend checking out this book.
